Power steering pump, anyone tried an ebay one?

[South Hams Gaz]

Going to get my PAS pump done soon at the same time as a cambelt swap and was looking at one of these cheap ones off ebay.
Anyone know if they are any good? Want to keep cost to a minimum given the whole job won't be much less than I paid for the car.

Or remanufactured for twice the price.

Just seen that those cheap ones are for vehicles without aircon.
Remanufactured one it is unless anyone knows of somewhere cheaper?

afik same pump for ac and non ac?

bin it and go with elecy power steering instead. less junk and less to go wrong/leak.
